I'd have a seizure too if some genetically enhanced freak starting shooting me in the head.

Now tell me exactly why you would want to do that?

Headshot... Sticky sticky... Headshot...Stab...Evade Stab Sticky Stab Stab evade Sticky Stab Headshot Sticky Sticky!

it might be good for machinima.. but most of the machinimas are gonna be action ones and it would make more sense to have em in battle-ready positions

Machinimas I would presume.

Firefight will most likely be too hectic for this. I think the reason it was originally implemented was for machinima makers, and I dont think you'd want or need Footage from Firefight with your weapon down.

" I will seek vengeance upon those who have betrayed my family, and uncover a conspiracy bigger that I could have imagined. I am Ezio Auditore di Firenze. I am an Assassin"

It's not going to work for machinmas but Halo 3: ODST will have the same game engine so you might see that. I'm gonna be focusing on the endless hordes of enemies instead of lowering my weapon, a terrible tactic in war.

Like it's a good tactic in any of the Halo games? =)

Machinima makers can come up with ideas that no one else can so I wouldn't say that it's impossible to make something creative out of Firefight in Machinima.

how would lowering your weapon in firefight have any benefit at all?

it doesn't seem like a feature we would need, but i'd garuntee that it will be in local play.
